🎃 A few Halloween safety tips from your friends at Smiths Falls Fire:

👻 Be Seen! Wear bright or reflective clothing, and carry a flashlight or glow stick to help drivers see you.

🕸️ Watch Your Step! Make sure costumes aren't too long or oversized, and choose comfortable footwear to prevent trips and falls.

🚦 Cross Safely! Use sidewalks and crosswalks whenever possible. Look both ways and never assume drivers can see you.

🍬 Treat Check! Have an adult inspect all treats before they're enjoyed.

🧙 Costume Safety! Choose face paint over masks when possible so little trick-or-treaters can see clearly.

🏠 Stay Together! Younger children should always be accompanied by a trusted adult.
